Its on Birmingham too, dammit, it has gone a bit out of hand, should the Army or whatever law enforcement attended the situation(after all, it's not a political repression, is damage control).

Or release the Lions?
Add your different views on the events, I don't mind if they are rubbish.

A police station in Handsworth (Birmingham) is on fire http://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi...t_fth=eb02d64b431fb9d8&_ft_time_ft=1312845739
That's true, good point.
But they might get worse if ended in the "wrong" way.
Which is why this situation is so difficult for the police right now.
They are precisely not doing what people on this forum are suggesting. Because they are experts.
Yes, but I like to let people have the benefit of deciding what kind of point or satire I'm making. There are times when it get's lost.
I'm not a regular crowd pleasing stand up comic of observational comedy.

The worrying thing is, the police cannot arrest people because they need as many officers as possible on the street. When officers make arrests, they need to take the perpetrators in and go with them to the station.
The longer this continues, the more people realise how easy it is to rampage and thieve and walk away without being stopped. Even when the police arrive at the scenes of looting, they can only "disperse" the criminals, and not seize them.
So... you can go and get your thrills: Maybe nab some free merchandise, smash some stuff up, and even clash with the police and you're not even gonna get caught.. You're gonna get a lot of takers for that experience.

So perhaps they need extra police from other regional forces?
There must be certain individuals who are stoking this up, leaders perhaps.
Getting the control on them as quick as possible is imperative.
There has to be some intelligence on this.

How long did the riots last for the student fees protest thing?
This might be a simple human behaviour pattern thing, and might fizzle out in about the same time as the last examples have done. Just by itself.

This is nothing like the student riots. That began for a specific political reason and then got a little out of control. The level of violence and destruction here is massively different and this it's criminality for the sake of it with no political agenda.
The other thing is, there aren't much spare riot police lying around the country, and normal officers are fairly powerless (and actually in danger of being killed by bricks etc..) vs the kind of numbers that are grouping.
